I'm not dismissing your notion, but I don't think the game shape calculation is sophisticated enough to take into account the pace of the offence. I do think it would be a good idea if it was though.

What I always try to do is to avoid using slow paced offences twice in the same week.

This is basically my thoughts on it as well. I think it would be difficult for them to have coded that but it would kind of make sense and it could explain some of the jumpiness of GS.

an aspect to GS that i have noticed is an expectation / allowance for greater minutes per player as the season progresses. the first weeks of the season, i think players are penalized for 80+ minutes. Last week, i had two players with 80+ minutes with no penalty to GS, but a player with less than 48 dropped two levels.

the randomness of the GS assessment is also real, I believe. no simple mechanical input produces x output.

this is only to suggest added levels of (possible) complexity to GS, on top of your idea that GS responds (possibly) to the offenses run.

I think that when game shape is calculated, the most important variable isn't the number of minutes, but the starting game shape. Which, in my opinion, is why the first week is very difficult, since the starting game shape is always 7. Again, this is only my opinion, if the player has game shape 9, there's a wider range of minutes which will keep his game shape up, and then as you go down to 7, you need to be much closer to the sweet spot.

Maybe we can ask the developer or something and not make theories haha

Maybe they can tell so that we can improve our teams more and so we don't have people guessing about stuff in the forums.
